When do you use whom, rather than who? And also, when do you use affect vs. effect?
Nearly a year ago, I used who instead of whom and this guy corrected me in the meanest tone humanly possible. I was so embarrassed so I responded with, 'well, english is my second language.' (it really is my second language, but I've been speaking it for 20 years). He responded with 'if you're going to speak it, speak it right.' It obviously hurt pretty badly, and I never want to make that mistake again. I guess he didn't care about the books I've written or the medical degree I'm aquiring. To him, I was just a dumb immigrant.
Thanks so much
